Today’s London Pulse tournament was a great success between the entire team that lead us to qualifying

As a result, we have now qualified to compete against Magic at the Copperbox for the final on the 22nd of March. It will be tough, but I’m sure we can stay competitive and win.

On the topic of Magic, our first game was against them, it was tough but we played as good as we could at the time.
Although the score was a disappointing score of 6-3 to Magic, we kept working hard during the other matches and finished in position to match them in qualification.

What my personal opinion on what we could work on for future games is, If the other team is playing very fast paced, when we get a turnover or any ball of ours we should slow down and get them to think ‘ oh they are going slow let’s just match with them. Apart from that our attack and defence was spectacular especially, Jess and Edie in the circle. They kept the shooter high and forced the shots which caused too much pressure on them.
The rest of the tournament went perfectly.
We listened to the coaches.
We sucked in what they said and put it out on to the court.

From the tournament, London Pulse chose me as MVP from the whole group of over 200 players; as they said my defense were tough on the outside but I still went in there and put up the shots.
As I always say at home when I’m practicing my shots and movement, it is not me alone, it was a team effort and I couldn’t have done it without all the circle edge support and the other shooters.

Pulse MVP – Elisha
CPOM – whole squad
